@potterscope_ Walters surely? Only Rigo and N’Zonzi have joined under Robins and the latter was clearly a Walters led effort. Robins brought Baker back which was a good move. Impressive how well Robins has done with such a limited midfield
English
We quite literally have the worst midfield pairings in the league.
Robins with a fantastic rebuild in the middle of the park so far!
Championship Data Dive@ChampionshipDat
Midfield Pairs Attacking Profiles: -Hackney with Morris/Browne lead attacking involvement score. -Coventry score well and Rudoni scores higher than Torp. -Watford pair of Louza/Mendy lead attacking output, James/Skipp also score highly. -Norwich and QPR score relatively well.

@Sacha_Lord @NickFerrariLBC @LBC Why should hospitality be singled out for a benefit? We need to invest in our high growth, high productivity sectors
English
Alarmingly, the Business Secretary just told @NickFerrariLBC on @LBC that there is:
"No Gov't intervention that is going to enable your business to thrive."
That's nonsense. Reducing VAT for the Hospitality sector would save business and jobs.
English
@Regenerate_SOT Seems an accurate reflection of the sentiments expressed by people quoted. Not the Sentinel saying it
English
The Sentifail has promoted some appalling headlines over the years. May as well add this one to the collection.
“Fear Stone 'assets' will be flogged to prop up cash-strapped Stoke-on-Trent”
Go and read The Knot instead stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-…

@OliverKamm @DianeCoyle1859 @ForeignAffairs The sentiment is right but the factual base is wrong. Some businesses may have abandoned their superficial commitment but primarily in the USA, investors and businesses in the U.K. and EU are largely continuing but not making a noise about it
English
Diane Coyle (@DianeCoyle1859) no longer tweets, I think, but she’s written an excellent piece for @ForeignAffairs on Milton Friedman’s famed dictum that “the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits”, and where it’s brought us. foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

@Matthew__Bowles Seems reasonable for
Running transport in one of the world’s major cities given the salaries people earn in the private sector
English
TfL’s Commissioner, Andy Lord, receives a base salary of £400k - with bonuses this rises to £640k+.
Over 2,200 TfL employees earn more than £100k per annum, with 78 paid more than the Prime Minister.
This is all whilst fares continue to rise…
TfL@TfL
What's a niche fact about London transport that not many people know? 🤔
English
@ChampionshpTalk Stoke’s manager under no pressure at all. 2 goalkeepers, all full backs, main attacking midfielder and 3 strikers out long-term. Would be 10 points better off with a normal run of injuries. 3-3 with Ipswich despite 8 early season starters out and would have won without GK errors
English
The falloff for Preston and Stoke needs studying. 26 games = playoff contenders!
Both lost their top goalkeeper around Xmas and have plummeted since and both managers under pressure!
Do we underestimate just how good a solid GK is for a team's confidence?

@montie So Reform supports the war today? It is hard to keep up
English
It's true. Trying to bring down one of the world's nastiest and most dangerous regimes may involve some short-term economic hardship. What a despicable campaign from a party that led the rush to renewables and has saddled Britain with the most expensive and least green Blockbuster-not-Netflix versions of clean power.
Liberal Democrats@LibDems
Reform and the Conservatives are happy to cheer on Trump’s illegal Iran war that could send your energy bills soaring.
English
@DaleJohnsonBBC @KieranMaguire What will the impact be? The 8 or 9 clubs in European competition will have to follow the UEFA rules anyway
English
Uefa has serious concerns about the impact of the Premier League's new financial rules.
From next season PL clubs not in Europe can spend 85% to 115% of their already bigger income on squads.
The 108 clubs in Europe will be limited to 70%.

@potterscope_ The football is not dire, far from it, and light years away from what Jones served up. We had an XG advantage of 3.5 to 1.6 against one of the best teams in the division without 8 of our best XI. Poor goalkeeping and bad positioning by Philips cost us.
English
I’m convinced, if you put Nathan Jones’ head on Mark Robins body, with all the injury circumstances and whatnot, everyone would be calling for his head.
Why isn’t it the same for Robins, this football is dire and bottling a 2-0 lead at home is quite simply unforgivable.
English
Remembering 33 fans who were crushed to death and 400 injured at Bolton Wanderers’ Burnden Park stadium when a barrier and a wall collapsed during an FA Cup game against Stoke City on this day 1946. Worst British football stadium disaster until Ibrox in 1971.
English
@DJSkelton Looks like the line turned down in the first third of the Thatcher era which was when we abandoned industrial policy
English
See if you can spot the period when we decided that the "economic benefits of immigration" would act as a substitute for a coherent economic or industrial policy.
English
@danielcflynn52 @stokecity Not the game I was at. Slow start but comfortably best team until sending off, disallowed goal and the best two chances up to that point. 2 goalkeepers, 3 of our 4 full back options, 3 strikers and our best attacking midfielder out. Now is the time for fans to get behind the team
English
@stokecity 1 win in 10. First 15mins not even there. Shit ref, but that's excuses. We aren't any good, are we! Tedious boring hopeless rubbish. Typical stoke performance of last 10 years. You just know we wouldnt score

@PaulWilliams207 @Regenerate_SOT It is a very unbalanced piece in the way it largely ignores the disconnect between a supposedly booming city and the real economic and social challenges that exist. It doesn’t mention a major drive of growth is non-market health services in a city with major health challenges
English
‘Stoke-on-Trent has become the engine of the organically growing digital economy in North Staffordshire, generating exceptional productivity gains for the city-region, as a whole. Indeed, since the early 2000s, The Potteries have really metamorphosed into a “Digital Dynamo”, surpassing national averages in digital employment intensity’.

@AdamCrafton_ What are you talking about? You have presumably seen Eze, Saka, Doku, Cherki, Neto, Cunha etc live?

Hadn’t planned to join the current chorus of “football is terrible now” but very struck watching this of Harry Kewell (1) how good he was (2) we really do not see players dribble at pace anymore

Nobody is buying Keir Starmer’s lawyerly cop-out Except the British public. As usual @MelanieLatest misreads the public mood
thetimes.com/article/a03c8d…
English
@potterscope_ A decent showing against the best team in the league when we had to start without a competitive GK or full back. The better team through the middle of the game but inevitably struggled as their much stronger bench took over. Even so, only a huge GK error away from a draw.
English
👋
Maybe if you had any intent to attack instead of sit and absorb pressure we would’ve actually held onto that result.
You have absolutely no clue what to do, and what the bed as per usual.
Had enough of it. One slim win at home to Oxford, the only win in the last 10 games.

Rudoni’s late strike secures the points for the hosts.

@Regenerate_SOT There is no polling evidence to support your assertion the public went a socially conservative soft left party.
English
Fascinating seeing the London based commentariat now suggesting Labour should abandon the red wall…
The British public want a socially conservative, economically soft left party.
Time after time after time.
If you can translate that into a narrative, that’s your problem
English
@bensig People were saying driverless cars would have been ubiquitous 10 years ago
English
@potterscope_ Other than. 1 Seko was woeful in Sat. 2. Seko can’t play the holding role. 3. N’Zonzi has been improving and can control a game. Guess what Robins made the right call
English
Starting Nzonzi over Seko for literally no reason
